Whenever this show gets too boring they move the boring to a foreign country.

LMAO!  True.

What I don't get is why haven't made Zoe a believable villainess. She SHOULD be after something (money? a job?) to underline her motivation to keep the baby switch a secret. Right now it is very low-key which Reese in London and her and Flo sharing the exact same conversation for months.

YES!  She should be blackmailing Flo or something.  At least it would make sense why she 's 24/7 lurking, stalking, and barging in on Flo to make sure she doesn't spill the beans.  Hell, they should have her and Thomas team up doing more and more conniving things to keep everyone in the dark about the baby switch.

From the May 27-June 9, 2019 issue of TV Guide:

 

The switched-baby story heats up as tensions mount among those who know that the presumed-dead daughter of Hope Spencer was unwittingly adopted by rival Steffy Forrester.  Before mom and child are reunited, the saga "is going to take a dark turn," says head writer-executive producer Bradley Bell. (Is he hinting at a death he reveals will take place?)  Forrester heir Thomas, though still mourning the loss of Caroline, ups his  plan to snag his son a new mom: Hope!  Thomas believes they "could be king and queen of the Forrester fashion empire," says Bell.  Plus, the cast will shoot scenes on location, possibly overseas.  Vows Bell: "It's going to be a glamorous summer."

 

There are also previews for the other 3 soaps.

What is the point of Zoe?  There's no logical reason for her to even stick around anymore with the threat of the truth coming out.  And they just recycle the same lines between her, Flo and Shauna.

 

The show has started playing Sheila-like music cues during Thomas manipulation scenes.  Noticed it yesterday when he was writing that fake letter from Caroline.

Clearly nobody cares about the contrived mess with Whine-att, Sally, Creepy ^$% Thomas and Go With the Flo.  LOL!  These are the characters they choose to hold down the fort on the front-burner until Queen Steffy returns???

 

And why couldn't they have kept Taylor around while JMW is on leave?  They built up conflict between Taylor and Brooke and just dropped it like that.  And it was about the only thing worth tuning in to watch on the show.

 

 

B&B: Brooke and Oliver "mistaking" each other for Hope and Ridge with Daddy Yankee's "Pose" becoming sort of the storyline's official theme song.

I'm at work and people are wondering why I'm cracking up ... this beaver/porcupine stuff?!?!?!  I have no clue what y'all talking about, but my imagination is going wild with this one.

 

B&B: Brooke, Thomas, and the berries.

 

Y&R: Frozen sperm making the rounds in Genoa City.

 

GL: This show had quite a few during the 90s and 00s between clones, twins with different fathers, and anything San Cristobel, but perhaps that time traveling painting takes the cake.

wow so Taylor is still on the show? She has a storyline and isnt just a Steffy prop?

Well, she's mostly been a Steffy prop, but she's been on more frequently then I'd have expected.  My guess is that she'll technically have a story like the flirtation with Dr. Reese, but it will only be to serve some purpose for the Steffy/Hope/Liam storyline.  My guess is whatever happens with Ridge and Taylor will be more about Thomas and Hope.  I don't think any of the vets can have their "own" storyline nowadays unless it serves the Big 3 somehow.

"Scratch Your Name" by The Noisettes

They're my current obsession. If you guys aren't hip to them, check them out. THEY RAWK!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dALeLKEHDz4

They have a couple other videos out..

"Don't Give Up"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2CPGut16Gw

"Sister Rosetta (Capture the Spirit)"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGLYNtqGuyQ

and there are some other vids people have posted from their live performances on YouTube.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also have a new obsession developing in Chrisette Michele

"If I Have My Way"

Okay... "Strawberry Letter 23" by The Brothers Johnson is the jam. While looking for videos on YouTube, I found this cool "music video" that some guys made. It really has that 70s vibe to it, special effects, everything! They got that coolness of the 70s soul/psychedelic vibe down pat. What a trip! LOL!

...and then here's an awesome animated video that uses rotoscoping, tracing over live action, to capture this song. This video uses the original version of "Strawberry Letter 23" by Shuggie Otis. It also does a excellent job of capturing the vibe of the song and times.

I swear there's something really inspirational about this song.

By the way, the title isn't a misnomer. Although the lyrics say "...a present from you, strawberry letter 22...," Shuggie Otis written this song in regards to his girlfriend who would write letters to him on strawberry scented paper. There's two theories for the title. A ) He's singing about letter 22 and the title is in hopes for her to send him letter 23, or B ) his song is in response to her letter 22, making his song letter 23.

I love finding out cool info/backstories on songs.

This song has been in my head all day long at work. LOL!

"Kissing You" by Total

BROWNSTONE... These ladies could SANG! Listen to their brilliant harmonizing skillz on "If You Love Me"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NoQC0Bo4gU

I don't know which group had the better harmony, but En Vogue were hot, too. Check them out singing their acceptance speech for an award. "Hold On" was the shyt and they're fine as heck!

I miss all of those female groups from around that time... Xscape, SWV, Mokenstef, etc...

Shanice "I Love Your Smile"

OMG crc, I totally remember that song! I loved it.

Does anyone have a Last.fm profile or program? I'm thinking of creating an SON group so we can all join. Anyone wanna do it?

I'm not too familiar with Last.fm, but I just checked out the site and it sounds interesting. I would join if you were to get something started.

I'm talking it back once again. I was on YouTube trying to find Michel'le's (remember her with the squeaky, high pitched talking voice, but a great set of singing pipes) "No More Lies," but it doesn't look like anyone has posted that video. But I ran across another gem of hers...

"Something In My Heart"

I'm posting this other video only because she talks in her normal voice at the beginning of the video. It's difference is just incredible.

The Noisettes

Cannot Even (Break Free)

You are alone, that's that

Nobody's home inside your head

You cannot even speak

Think everybody thinks you're a freak

So you wish you could be

On a magic carpet

Yes you wish you could be

Ever so transported from here, from here

So why won't you break free, break free

I want you to break free

Break free break free

Give me something, say we

Break free break free

I want you to break through

Break free break free

Give me something

Get on, get on wanna wanna (etc)

This time it is for real

And this time it's you who's making the moves

So tell me what's the deal

This time it's you who's breaking the rules

Still you wish you could be

On a magic carpet somewhere

And you wish you could be

Ever so transported from here, from here

Why don't you break free, break free

I want you to break free

Break free break free

Give me something, say we

Break free break free

I want you to break free

Break free we'll see

Give me something

Why won't you break free, break free

I want you to break free

Some songs just put a smile on your face or make you laugh...

Put on your red dress, baby

Ya know we're goin' out tonight

Put on your red dress, baby

Lord, we're goin' out tonight

And-a bring along some boxin' gloves

In case some fool might wanna fight

Put on your high-heel sneakers, lordy

Wear your wig-hat on your head

Put on your high-heel sneakers, child

Wear your wig-hat on your head

Ya know you're looking mighty fine, baby

I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead

Put on your red dress, baby

Lord, we're goin' out tonight

Put on your red dress, baby

Well, we're goin' out tonight

And bring along some boxin' gloves

'case some fool might wanna fight

Put on your high-heel sneakers, child

Wear your wig-hat on your head now

Put on your high-heel sneakers, baby

Wear your wig-hat on your head

Ya know you're looking mighty good, really

I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead

^^I never heard that song before. Mind you, I didn't get into the whole techno/house/party music stuff until a little later. Once I got to high school, I started listening to all kinds of music. LOL!

That video made me think of one my favorite techno/dance music singers, Sonique. Here's a couple of her videos:

"It Feels So Good"

"Sky" You might have heard this one for a, I believe, King's Island commercial.

Okay, so I'm gonna take it back for ya'll just a little bit. Remember PM Dawn? Now that's some classic r&b/hip-hop from the early 90s. To be a kid again...

Here's "I'd Die Without You" from the Boomerang soundtrack:

And here's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss"

This stuff is old school to me. LOL! Brings back a lot of memories.

Just finished listening to Jill Scott's new song "Hate On Me" from her upcoming album The Real Thing dropping in September. It's HOT! But I wouldn't expect anything less from my girl Jilly from Philly!

Any Jill Scott fans out there, you can listen to an mp3 of the song at http://www.okayplayer.com/index.php ... just scroll down to "Okayplayer News 5.25.07."

EDIT: LOL! I'll go one better and just provide a direct link to the song ... if it works: http://okayplayer.com/downloads/JillScott-HateOnMe.mp3

I just bought Linkin Park's new album "Minutes to Midnight" this weekend and I really like it. Probably not so coincidentally, my favorite two tracks are the ones with Mike Shinoda's rapping: "Bleed it Out" and "Hands Held High." I'm also really like "What I've Done," "In Between" and "Given Up."

I can't wait until Tuesday to buy The Noisettes album "What's the Time Mr. Wolf"!

Just finished listening to some Lauryn Hill.

"Ex-Factor"

It could all be so simple

But you'd rather make it hard

Loving you is like a battle

And we both end up with scars

Tell me, who I have to be

To get some reciprocity

No one loves you more than me

And no one ever will

Is this just a silly game

That forces you to act this way

Forces you to scream my name

Then pretend that you can't stay

Tell me, who I have to be

To get some reciprocity

No one loves you more than me

And no one ever will

(Hook:)

No matter how I think we grow

You always seem to let me know

It ain't workin'

It ain't workin'

And when I try to walk away

You'd hurt yourself to make me stay

This is crazy

This is crazy

I keep letting you back in

How can I explain myself

As painful as this thing has been

I just can't be with no one else

See I know what we got to do

You let go and I'll let go too

'Cause no one's hurt me more than you

And no one ever will

(Repeat Hook)

Care for me, care for me

I know you care for me

There for me, there for me

Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me

You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me

Why won't you live for me

(Repeat)

"Don't Give Up" by The Noisettes

"Sister Rosetta" by the Noisettes

I'm really digging The Noisettes and Amy Winehouse right now.
